Tribal TANF cash assistance is derived from the TANF block grant, which is considered cash aid. Therefore, if all members of the food stamp household receive cash aid, the household is considered categorically eligible for food stamp benefits under Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP) 63-301.7. QUESTION #2: Are households receiving Tribal TANF considered Public Assistance Food Stamps (PAFS) or Non-assistance Food Stamps (NAFS) households? ANSWER: All categorically eligible households who receive Public Assistance (PA) benefits are considered PAFS households (MPP 63-301.7).
